Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) Program

GATE provides enrichment through an academic, visual and performing arts and special events component to students who demonstrate outstanding abilities requiring services beyond those normally offered in the regular classroom.  Students participate in Academic Challenge Bowl, Math Counts, Math Olympiad, National Forensic League, theatre arts classes, All Island Honor Choir, the staging of plays and in the hosting of concerts.

A publication called Pickled Papaya is produced annually which is a compilation of the students’ art work and creative writing.
